Palmetto man arrested on child porn charges

A 27-year-old Palmetto man was arrested Monday, after investigators say they found child pornography on his computer, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

Victor Navarrete-Garcia faces multiple charges of sexual performance by a child and transmission of child pornography, according to a news release.

“On May 11, 2016, detectives learned of possible child pornography on the suspect’s computer,” the release states. “Subsequent investigation led to a search warrant which was executed today at the residence of Navarette-Garcia.”
